    Come on now.

    He gets credit for fighting Wilder 3 times. Although Wilder isn’t great, he’s very dangerous. More dangerous than Whyte.

    Disagree about Wildwr being more dangerous than Whyte, hence the massive gulf in quality of opposition beaten between the two.

    Let’s see what transpires.

    Criticise Tyson if he Usyk beats AJ again and then he doesn’t fight Usyk.

    Fake news. There is plenty of evidence that AJ was willing to step aside, stop that bs. According to both AJ's and Usyk's management Fury is the one that said no.

    ''At some point'', when will that be, another year and a half from now after Usyk has aged a lot more? You won't even put a time frame on it, just ''at some point''. :duh

    If what I strongly suspect is going to happen comes to pass and Fury and Joshua both swerve Usyk to fight each other at the end of the year I bet you will still be on here making excuses to justify it.

    Fury has turned down the chance to fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.....to fight Dillian ****in Whyte instead who got knocked out cold by 40 year old Povetkin two fights ago.

    Just a couple of weeks ago, many on this forum were claiming that Fury was "ducking the body snatcher" lmao. You're just mad because you know that an inactive Fury is much more beatable and the AJ rematch is dangerous for Usyk, primarily because of the politics. Fury isn't there to do Usyk, AJ or Whyte favours; he's there to maximise his chances of winning and maximise his bank balance, which is exactly what he's doing here. If he doesn't fight the Usyk-AJ 2 winner within 8-12 months of beating Whyte, then we can talk about ducking.

    It is perfectly acceptable to fight Whyte first, but he should sign Usyk next. Fury knows that he is declining, and he knows Uysk is going to be a very long night for him. Let's see if he is up to the challenge.

    ''within 8-12 months'' :facepalm: That statement says it all, you are more than happy for him to take the mayweather approach, aging an opponent out for as long as he possibly can.

    Fury is aging faster than Usyk. Uysk is older and smaller, but he taels care of himself. You can find recent interviews where Fury admits he has only a limited amount of time left.

    Fury did Usyk a favour because he would had embarrased Usyk. All Fury did was extend the Usyk hype -

    Given Fury & Usyk both hold fantastic odds over beating their next opponents it's basically an easy free payday

    Where as Usyk & Fury fighting give Whyte/AJ free paydays whilst not making much more themselves AND putting one of each other out of the race unnecessarily.

    Morally & business wise it's correct that Whyte gets his WBC shot and AJ takes his rematch

    Usyk & Fury can negotiate their undisputed bout on their own terms.

    Easy free pay day? lol - not sure what you are smoking. They are going to train hard and work hard against their fights.

    But that's not my point, I am refering to the Usyk hype. Fury exposes and bullies him. AJ was too tentative and let Usyk off by not attacking him like he did with previous fighters. Fury wont do this he will walk through Usyk and knock him out of the ring.

    The guy who was popped for PEDS, ducked the Wlad rematch and whose second best win is a paper champion where he was dropp
    Who has Fury knocked out of ring before? Aside from that paper champion who was also dropped by a 50 year old Ortiz.
    embarrasses someone cleaned up the cruiser.

    I've never seen a fighter age as quickly as Fury. He already looks middle aged. Give it another few years and he'll make Ortiz look like the younger man.

    I honestly think he knows that Uysk is going to be a very difficult climb for him.

    The worst thing that you can do for a car is to not drive it, and I think that is what happened here. After he worked so hard to get his body back in shape, it just couldn't take another year and an half off.
